Maranata Many

Date of Birth: July 1, 2015

Caretaker: Rose Etid de Rosier (Mom)

Gender: Female

Beginning weight: 3.82 kg

Weight as of January 2016: 5.04 kg

Information: Maranata's mommy loves her and wanted to take care of her, but she is poor, so when she didn't have enough milk to nurse Maranata, she was pretty certain she was out of options.  She came to the clinic with a tiny, tiny 6 month old baby, and asked if we could help. A month on formula has made a world of difference for this little munchkin.

Caretaker: Mom, Anèz Pierre Ostinè 

Gender: Male

Date of Birth: January 15, 2015

Beginning weight: 4.34 kg

Weight as of January 2016: 6.82 kg

Information:  Makendy's mama seemed to not have a great handle on raising a baby, and didn't have enough milk to nurse him, so he was slowly starving to death when she brought him to clinic for help.  At 10 months he weighed less than many newborns, and was skin stretched over tiny bones with a pathetic mewing cry.  But mama wanted her son, and was very willing to listen and learn.  With a steady supply of milk, Makendy has slowly turned around, and is steadily gaining and growing.  Only time will tell whether there is permanent development damage from his months of malnutrition.

Caretaker:  Grandmother, Germaine 

Gender: Female

Date of birth: June 23, 2015

Beginning weight: 2.3 kg

Weight as of December 2016: 3.02 kg

Information: Little Elena came to us with very little information and a sad glimpse of broken humanity.  Her mama had died when she was two months old, and nobody seems to know who her daddy is.  Her grandma, Germaine, decided to care for her, but like most Haitian grandmas, she was rather poor....and baby formula costs a lot.  So, to the clinic they came, and asked if we could help.  Elena was very small, just around 6 pounds at 3 months old, but with some TLC and better nutrition, though still tiny, she's looking good today.

Information: Emanuel's mom died of unknown causes, possibly infection, when he was just four days old.  The family doesn't know where his dad is, and their ashamed ducking of heads when we ask about him likely implies that he was not married to Emanuel's mother.  Emanuel's aunt came to us with the baby, asking if we could help.  So far, Emanuel is a healthy and happy little guy, and with your help, we'd like to see him grow into a toddler that way.

Stamand, Chelemaque

SPONSORED

These piercing little eyes have already seen some hard times, even at less than three months old.  Chelemaque Stamand  was born with a cleft palate, which not only means a slim chance of getting enough nutrition, but it also means his Mama spends hours each day with a dropper, trying to get those nutrients into his little tummy without drowning him.  Nursing was out of the question, and his parents were running out of money to buy formula when they came to the clinic.  Reparative surgery has to wait until he is a few months along in life, and even then it will be expensive.  The nurses at clinic are working to make the connections to get his surgery done, but until that can happen, he's on Milk Program.

Rose-Mika Geffrand

Meet Rose-mika Geffrand, a little bundle of cuteness whose Mama was very sick and had to be on meds that made it impossible for her to nurse her little one.  An aunt brought the baby to us to see if we could help, as they were poor and had medical bills to worry about, never mind expensive baby formula.

After a month on the program, Rose-mika is gaining well, and on her way to a new look...chubbiness! :)

Information: Guillande's mom died just a few days after she was born, and her dad lives in Leogane, a zone far away from Guillande and her grandmother.  When Guillande was left alone, her grandmother came to the rescue, but she didn't have enough money to buy formula, so she came to the clinic to ask for help.  At 18 days old, Guillande was a healthy little girl with no mommy; now, thanks to your support, she has a future.

Information:  Keson is a healthy little munchkin, but his mommy died just a few days after he was born.  His dad seems to have checked out of the picture, but his grandma cared, so she came to see if we could help.  She doesn't have much money, but it's obvious that she cares about "her" little guy, and is very grateful to be able to feed him formula that she couldn't afford on her own.

Gender: Female

Birth Date: July 25, 2013

Beginning Weight: 2.26 kg

Current Weight as of February 2015: 8.32 kg

Information:  Little Jessica Mercy's name stands in strange irony to her beginning in life....or maybe not.  She was born to a single 16-year-old girl who had some queer spiritual issues and didn't have the wherewithal to care for her baby.  When Jessica was only a few months old, her mom suddenly quit nursing her altogether and other relatives came to the clinic asking for help.  She is still small for her age, but it looks like God has something special for this little "Mercy".

Information:  Techlinn is a tot from a rather hard family situation.  Her mom, Joatase, had one sad relationship after another, resulting in two children, but not much family structure.   Techlinn is the second born, and after her birth, Joatase was sick for several months, then died rather suddenly one night.  This sweet little girl is now cared for by her dad and paternal grandmother and a few cousins, and is doing quite well.

Information:  Jedeleine and her twin must have been very tiny as newborns, because when they came to us as 5-month-olds, they weighed about 3 kg each (6.6 lbs).  The smaller twin died a week later, but this little "cherubim" clung to life, and is a thoughtful little munchkin who is difficult to coax into smiling, but seems to be cultivating determination already, like her mama, who faithfully makes the trek to bring her to be weighed and to pick up more milk powder to keep her growing.

Beginning Weight: 4.94 kg

Current Weight as of July 2014: 5.80 kg

Information: This little guy was brought to us after his mother died suddenly of unknown causes.  They told us that his father "can't sit still" and "doesn't care"....essentially, he doesn't want his son.  The caregivers wanted us to just take him and raise him ourselves, but agreed to keep him if we put him on the program.  With that support they are providing him with good care, and he is a healthy, happy baby.
